Photo Coverage: Manhattan Theatre Club Celebrates Nancy Coyne at Spring Gala

Just last night, Manhattan Theatre Club presented its annual Spring Gala at Cipriani 42nd Street (110 East 42nd Street). This year's event honored Serino Coyne Founder and Chairman Nancy Coyne for being a tireless advocate for the arts and featured performances by the casts of many of the most acclaimed musicals on Broadway including Ain't Too Proud, Be More Chill, Beetlejuice, The Cher Show, Choir Boy, Hadestown, King Kong, Pretty Woman, and Tootsie.

The evening was directed by Richard Maltby Jr. The creative team included Philip S. Rosenberg (lighting design), Leon Rothenberg (sound design), and Justin Hornback (music direction).

The MTC Spring Gala co-chairs are Angelo Desimini (Chief Executive Officer, Serino Coyne), Marie T. Gallagher (SVP and Controller, PepsiCo), Jordan Roth (President, Jujamcyn Theatres), Thomas Schumacher (President & Producer, Disney Theatrical Productions), and Thomas F. Secunda (Founding Partner, Bloomberg).

Nancy Coyne is the co-founder and chairman of Serino Coyne, a groundbreaking live entertainment advertising and marketing agency based in New York City. Since Serino Coyne's establishment in 1977, Nancy has been a female trailblazer in a male-dominated industry, helping to revolutionize the world of advertising on Broadway and beyond. Nancy led Serino Coyne as it proudly represented the Broadway and touring productions of some of musical theater's most iconic shows, including Cats and The Phantom of the Opera. Her legacy of exemplary storytelling lives on in Serino Coyne's enduring work for some of today's most popular Broadway shows, including Wicked, Dear Evan Hansen and Disney's Aladdin and Frozen. In 2004, Nancy was the recipient of the Tony Awards Honor for Excellence in the Theatre.

Where Will the Tonys Have ROOM?

Sometimes seasons go by without any truly perplexing questions for the Tony Award Administration Committee to answer. This will not be one of those seasons. As I wrote last month, there are close calls on what will be considered a new play versus revival and now thrown into the mix is the play or musical decision involving ROOM.
